Witchcraft on a Shoestring: A Swap Shelf Book Find

I'm extremely lucky that my local station waiting room hosts a wonderful community book swap. There are shelves you can browse and take something you want to read, but it's polite to also leave a few that you no longer want.

The other day found this copy of Norfolk Folk Tales in very good condition and I'm looking forward to dipping into it. I'm also having a January declutter at home and will return to drop off some things others might like. 

Many stations have places you can leave books you've finished with, then take others that interest you. I often blog about witchcraft on a shoestring - ways you can learn and practice magic without spending much money. Book swaps are worth browsing for witchy tomes. When you find a book on magic or folklore there, it's also a reminder that others in our areas share our interests.

Don't forget that local libraries are a wonderful resource for books you can read for free too. In my borough, you can find my Pagan Portals titles on Candle Magic, Guided Visualisations, and Poppets and Magical Dolls, and my novel Erosion. I've blogged about it in the past, with a link. I'm just as happy when people borrow my books from the library as when they buy them.
